It comes standard with our silver vein metallic.ĬA Residents: WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm. These K-members can also be used with both stock and our Team Z S197 Mustang A-arms.Įach K-member is built start to finish in house here in Michigan. The Team Z K-member offers the strength and weight savings of moly at mild steel pricing Team Z. This gives you both strength and reduces NVH that is sure to last. Team Zs new Metal Matrix K-member Is made of both alloy steel and mild steel to make it lighter and stronger. Team Z A-arms are made from 4130 and are TIG welded. Why did we choose UMHW? UHMW has very low moisture absorption, low coefficient of friction, is comparable to that of teflon, is self-lubricating and is 15 times more resistant to abrasion than carbon steel. Team Z 79-04 Mustang Chromoly Non-Adjustable A-Arms Designed for use with Team Z K-members for 1979-2004 Mustangs. Our mounts use a 8620 Steel sleeved cap and UMHW pucks to mount to our K-members. We even include new mounts that the factory or aftermarket motor mounts can bolt to. Each K-member comes with the necessary hardware to mount it in your Mustang. Not only does this k-member have great weight saving, but it also has more clearance for aftermarket headers, which makes swapping your exhaust easy.

Weighing in at 24lbs, it is one of the lightest DOM k-members available for the S197 Mustang. Constructed out of 1-1/4" DOM steel, our K-member offers great strength with a reduced overall weight. weight savings on the street, for me, isn't worth the $650 cost of MM's new K-member.Team Z Motorsports now offers a 2005-2014 S197 Mustang K-member for street and strip applications. weight savings over the Ford OEM K-member. With MM's new K-member there's a whopping 14Lb. Racing, whether it be road or drag, where minimal impact loading takes place WAS the design criteria for all other manufacturer's tubular K-members. The problem with tubular K-members other than MM's "street" K-member, is street driving was NOT the design criteria. I believe most people engaged in this discussion would agree that tubular design can meet the criteria for street driving, given that is the design criteria from the start. Now that Maximum Motorsports has come out with a "street" tubular k-member that should let you know their other K-member designs, and most likely those of their competitors, should not be used on the street.
manufacturers told me their tubular k-members are not designed to take the impact loading generated from street driving. Then that's why the engineers from two diff. If u think that a tube frame, bolted to the frame of the car isnt strong enough, then i hope when u build a cage for your car, you build it out of stamped steel.O.K. Just because it has mass doesnt mean it is stronger, i would take tube built over stamped steel anyday. If u have ever fabbed parts or anything u know tube frames or tube built structures can be made as strong as anything out there. I also talked to a local speed shop that sells several different ones,and they highly discouraged the idea of using a tubular k-member on the street for the same reasons I previously stated. The other flat out said his product was not designed for the street and under the right conditions could fail. One said his product would stand up to the rigors of street driving, but he didn't recommend using it for that application, since it wasn't designed for the street. I've talked to engineers with two companies that manufacture the tubular k-members. Your street car isn't going to be competitive on the track, so why run the risk of structural failure on the street with the tubular K-member. Then you will need the tubular K-member with coil over shocks.

If you have a competitive track car, it isn't going to be a driver on the street in the firast place. I guess my question is why use one on the street? What are you going to gain that you can't accomplish with the stock K-member? I know, it looks cool. Tubular K-members are designed for race application not designed for impact loading of potholes, road debris, train tracks, etc.
